A new bill, has been proposed by United States Representative Marjorie Taylor
Greene to award Kyle Rittenhouse the Congressional Gold Medal. Greene has
introduced the bill to honour Rittenhouse for "protecting the community of
Kenosha” during the “Black Lives Matter (BLM) riot on August 25, 2020," reported
The Hill. Reportedly, the bill proposed by the US Representative is unlikely to
pass as it has no co-sponsors.

Marjorie Taylor Greene in a statement to The Hill stated that Kyle Rittenhouse
must be remembered as a “hero”. The US Representative further added that
Rittenhouse protected his community and their business. She further claimed that
he acted “lawfully in the face of lawlessness” and she was “proud” of herself to
propose the bill to award him the Congressional Gold Medal. Rittenhouse shot
three protesters in Kenosha, killing two of them and wounding the third
protestor, as per The Hill report. Last week, the court acquitted Rittenhouse of
all charges, including intentional homicide. After the judgement was announced,
conservatives appreciated the jury’s verdict. Democrats, however, expressed
shock over the judgement as the US teenager was found not guilty. Civil rights
activists have raised their voice that the judgement will encourage people to do
similar actions.

Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges after his attorneys claimed that
the act which was conducted by him was in self-defence during Kenosha shootings.
The jury gave the verdict on November 19 and after hearing the judgement,
Rittenhouse began to choke up and then hugged one of the attorneys, according to
AP.

The charges levelled against him included homicide, attempting homicide, and
recklessly endangering safety for killing two individuals and wounding a third
with an AR-style semi-automatic weapon. The shootings had taken place in the
summer of 2020 during a demonstration. Rittenhouse revealed that he travelled to
the city that night to safeguard property from protesters. According to AP,
while describing the night of the incident, at his murder trial, Kyle
Rittenhouse informed jurors that the night he shot three men amid protests in
Kenosha, stating he never planned to harm anyone and said, " I didn't do
anything wrong. I defended myself".
